What Causes Flushing And Hot Feeling In The Upper Right Arm And Shoulder?
Question: I keep getting these attacks that i feel start in my upper right arm and shoulder, flushing hot feeling which spreads to my face and neck, almost an "out of body" feeling. Lasts a few minutes every time. usually goes on for a day or so, then nothing for another month. i dread them so much now that i probably start a panicking somewhat, and fear them. It is honestly so very hard to even describe. I would rather die than continue to have these spells

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The flushing and hot feeling that you have can be related to mild nerve root irritation at the level of cervical spine. Such symptoms usually improve on taking methylcobalamin supplements.You can get your serum Vitamin B12 levels evaluated. Consulting a neurologist and getting proper supplements prescribed will help.
I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.

Yes, I have history of cervical issues, which is why I am on the vicodin treatments, just to cope and get through my work days. I refuse to not be able to work, but now these attacks are interferring.
Would there be another prescription you might consider that would keep me working and not lend itself to nerve compounding/
